    Use Your Weapon

     | 12,721 views

    The moment you give your life to jesus you are not just saying " yes Lord"  you are literarily saying  let the battle begin.The battle we are in today is  not the battle of physical confrontation but a spiritual warfare that needs spiritual weapons.

    I believe some of us will be wondering why we need to use a weapon when  we are not a soldier. But we need to remember that we are soldiers in christ.  2 Corinth 10:4 says: "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds" I  realised ...read more

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020
     | 7,781 views

    God’s people actually ‘’limited the Holy One of Israel’’ by their sins and foolishness. So, can man or the church limit God's purpose & intention? Yes! Within the context of this psalm, we can, the same as Israel did.

    SERIES: LIMITING THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL (PART 1 - AN INTRODUCTION - CAN WE LIMIT GOD'S MOVE IN OUR LIVES?) PSALM 78: 19 Yes, they murmured against God: They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness? 20 Behold, He struck the rock, So that the waters gushed out, And the streams ...read more

     | 3,903 views

    A wise person accepts and acts upon realities that others deny or ignore. The sooner we get these down, the better!

    Wisdom and the Quality of Your Life (Proverbs 27:19-26) 1. Some people are amazingly shrewd. Take this joke: 2.

    The story of Jairus teaches us that when we face grief, we never should never lose sight of the fact that Jesus gives hope whenever there is death.

     | 6,372 views

    Peter's confession that Jesus is the Son of God leads to the consideration of who we might say Christ is to us when He is either silent, seemingly late, or tells us "No."

    Jesus, Son of God (Who Do YOU Say that I Am?) Matthew 16:13-17 INTRODUCTION: Have you ever talked to someone who thinks Jesus was a great teacher and a good man, but nothing more?

    Dodging Decisions Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 21, 2021
     | 1,940 views

    What is often passed off as indecisiveness or propriety or procrastination is a dishonest attempt to keep from honoring what is right and fair. We can see Felix’s motives as an example. We can also see how God can use such red tape.

    Dodging Decisions (Acts 24:1-27) 1. So today we honor our graduates, and we honor our fathers. 2. I will honor our graduates with a joke: Why did Mary want to work at a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet even though she'd received her B.A. degree? Because it had been on her bucket list for a long ...read more

     | 429 views

    Setbacks are often seen as moments of defeat, delay, or discouragement. Yet, for a believer, a setback is never the end of the story—it is a divine pause that God uses to orchestrate something far greater than we ever imagined.
